Hi I am an older trapper and a believer who appreciate the testimony you and your family have shared with viewers, I live in a tiny village about twenty five miles north of the Arctic Circle. In Fairbanks seeing doctors. God bless you. Arctic circle Dave
We haven't sold any yet this year, but our uncle has reported that they are back into a solid 50-75$ range. So not back at the ridiculous highs we saw a few years back, but a very solid price for the work that goes into them. And thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Hahaha yeahhh one of those lessons you'd think time would eventually have me learn, but just never seemed to stick 😂 lol and Dale is super excited someone enjoyed the slow mo as much as he did! Haha
Replying to your critics by more or less saying “I can trap however I want”... Yes you can, and I’m no expert, but the experts I know put them in the trees. They have trap lines spanning dozens of miles, and check them once a week. voles will chew on a grounded animal, or wind will blow a snow drift into or over your trap.
Like we said, the ones who insist that is the only way to do it are generally the ones who haven't had the variety to actually know that much about trapping. We never said that poles or tree sets were a bad way to set; we said that the ones who insist they are the only way to catch marten, so we can't really be trappers, are wrong. The old timers in this area who have also run massive traplines for 60+ years of their life generally use this sort of set, rather than hanging sets. It frees us up to set wherever we want, even in the drowned bog areas where there isn't much for trees, and it is a very efficient use of time when you need to make dozens of sets in a day. Voles can definitely be trouble in some areas of the world, but they aren't much of a problem around here so it isn't much of an issue dealing with them. Some people love tree sets, some love ground sets. The point is that when someone insists that "real trappers" only use one type of set, then that shows a very limited grasp of trapping as there are many ways to trap a species.

Very nice video. Ingenious use of the slow mo. I laughed and laughed as did my wife. Next time shake the sapling first! Jk. Be safe.
